I have stayed here a few times now and I am happy with it. It quiet, close to food, check in is plesant. Its certainly nothing special, just a room. No breakfast or anything. But over multiple stays the experience has always been consistent- and that means alot.

I guess a few members of our group were the only ones to notice the sewage treatment plant just behind and to the left of the hotel. Behind the San Carlos Hop. We could not sit outside at night due to the smell, but keeping your door closed kept the smell out; however, we were satisified with the cost and the value for your money. The place is basic and shows its wear over the years, but the rooms were clean and staff friendly. A two night stay senior citizen rate cost us $96 total including taxes. This motel is also pet friendly, but we experienced no problems with bugs or odors. I would recommend this to others on a budget. I suspect the sewage treatment plant may be processing at night only. You only had the smell in the evening and overnight.

As a footnote, my wife and I had our son's wedding rehersal dinner at the San Carlos restaurant next door. What we found this time was a dining room that wasn't even open on a saturday evening at 7 p.m. The night club (or DJ) Hop side was open. Before we could order anything off the sandwich menu or drinks we have to either give them a credit card or pay cash! Service was horrible. Stay away.

I want to address the sewer smell up front: This place is located right next to the Codorus...a place known for it's awful sewer like smell mostly in the summer. Back in the 50s-70s a bunch of companies dumped chemicals into the river and the locals (and tourists!) are still suffering today. It's much better than it was in the early 90s, but you MAY notice a sewer like smell in the summer.

That being said, for the price of this place you can't really beat it. Not to mention that it used to be a Red Roof Inn. Red Roof tore down the old Motel 6 and built a new hotel and Motel 6 moved into Red Roof's old building. So the rooms are nicer than most Motel 6s. They're pretty big.

The bedding is cheap, standard Motel 6 bedding as are the pillows so if this is an issue, bring your own. I would not recommend staying here more than 3 days, you can scope better deals on Priceline for much better places but it is great for a one or two night venture.

The staff is hit and miss. Some of them are awesome, and some are just "meh".

Location is great, it's right next to 83 and on Route 30. Those are the 2 roads that will take you everywhere you need to be in York.

As far as things being boarded up and "scary"? There's an out of business Bob Evans that was boarded up so people wouldn't break in and throw parties and the area is a bit desolate (in terms of businesses) so if that scares you, stay away. Personally I prefer the boarded up Bob Evans to the atrocity that was there, but that's a whole nother review ;)

My oh my...I actually came to this exact website and read the reviews BEFORE staying at this motel 6. I had stayed there a few years ago and wanted to double check before staying again since this visit was going to be for an extended stay. If you have an elderly person staying with you, be sure to request a handicap accessible room as the bath tub in the standard room has a large step down to get out of them and its too easy for an elderly person to fall. Handicap accessible rooms have plenty of grab bars in the shower but only 1 bed per room. Both rooms were relatively clean with the exception of FLEAS! Oh yes...I did say fleas! Be sure to bring your bug spray and put Advantage on your pets if you bring them along as they will be leaving with a few extra passengers! When I reported the flea issue to the staff, the manager insisted that we move to another room. The new room seemed to be flea free, but we itched like mad after sleeping in that room and woke with a few bug bites. I would have been happier with the fleas! I made sure to launder all of my belongings prior to taking them into my home! The beds leave quite a bit to be desired. For a quickie one night stay they would probably be ok, but for an extended stay, you will have trouble getting a good nights rest. Not only are the mattresses very uncomfortable, but they have to be at least 20 years old and are leftovers from when this motel was a Red Roof Inn YEARS ago (don't look under the sheets!).

Having said all of that, the staff here is very polite and quick to try to resolve any issues that may arise. The Wi-fi works very well but is a bit costly if you are staying for more than 1 day. $2.99 per 24 hours adds up very quickly. The hotel has laundry facilities available as well as a snack vending room. Very close to everything in York with relatively easy access to I 83.
